Well look at the hole, if more/wider solder is applied then it will take further modifications to the cover to make it all fit, even thou this is only half the USB it still is the most load baring half, just giving strength to that side will still give much added strength to the USB.

And if anybody can't see how this will help then let me try to explain.
Look to the pictures (first 2, notice the 4 "legs" that holds the USB down, they don't cover much surface at all, now look at the last 2 pictures, here you will see a MASSIVE connection that even goes all the way to the top, this new "connection" is many times stronger then the measly 4 pins that holds the USB in place.
